Can’t wait. Let’s gooooooo

Nice 1st round matchup vs the Kansas St Wildcats

[theblueram]

Nice matchup. KState has been down but should be a good game.

[Rhode_Island_Red]

Nice matchup. KState has been down but should be a good game.

Any win over a Cartel team will pay dividends.

[PeterRamTime]

Nice matchup. KState has been down but should be a good game.

Yeah they've been around last in the Big 12 for a few years and have a new coach. We should have a shot here.

And if URI and Nevada both win - we finally got that matchup that Nevada ducked out of a few years ago.

It is funny to think about how much has changed since they ducked out of that game.

2pm USMNT open the World Cup vs Wales

7:30pm Rhody vs K State

LFG!

I'll be waking up, playing golf, hitting the beach bar, drinking to excess, then moseying on over to the game for 7:30.

[Jdrums#3]

That’s the life, right there, Blue Man!

I feel like drinking to excess needs to be moved up in the schedule...

Has the classic been televised in the past?

I agree, but to be fair, I believe that is already built in to the "playing golf" category. Or maybe it's just my golf game that gets better with more beers.

Who has the TV rights to the Cayman classic ??

Looks like FloHoops. So shit

[Blue Man]

So maybe more people should fly on down and partake in my schedule!

We would be there if it wasn't Thanksgiving!

[adam914]

Oh great so we have to pay like $30 to watch 2 games!

[Rhody74]

We’re taking our three year old granddaughter on the Polar Express on that Friday, so we’re out.

[PeterRamTime]

Looks like FloHoops. So shit

No way should a tournament with those programs have to deal with Flosports.

LSU and K-State have massive fanbases and the rest are all basketball schools pretty much.

As long as my MIL is alive, we will drive to Cleveland to spend Thanksgiving with her.

[theblueram]

How many more games do we have left to schedule? Is it three? Maybe Archie is seeing how the team is coming along before scheduling?

[RhowdyRam02]

Correct. Three more non-conference games to schedule with the following already in place

Home
Monday 11/7 Quinnipiac
Saturday 12/3 Providence
Milwaukee
Brown

Away
Georgia State
Seton Hall
Boston College

Neutral
Monday 11/21 Kansas State 7:30 pm
Tuesday 11/22 Nevada or Tulane 5 or 7:30 pm
Wednesday 11/23 Akron, Illinois State, LSU or Western Kentucky

[Rhodymob05]

Would like another "known" home opponent.

[Jersey77]

Would like another "known" home opponent.

Or possibly 2, plus may be a neutral game similar to the Charleston one in DC which was cancelled last season.

[rhodysurf]

Our home games are good but our pairings are weeeaaakkkkk https://atlantic10.com/news/2022/6/27/a ... eason.aspx

[adam914]

I assume its based on previous year records? I can't remember how they decide the pairings, but if thats it then it makes sense.

[RhowdyRam02]

What a suckbag group of pairings. Fuck this conference

Think it’s that and prediction for the next year. It makes sense, but as a fan it blows not to be paired with Dayton

[Jersey77]

No problem with this, based on our previous record.

We have a new roster with a lot of youth and question marks, I am okay with it.

Rhode Island
Home: Davidson, Dayton, George Washington, St. Bonaventure, VCU, Fordham, George Mason, La Salle, Massachusetts
Away: Duquesne, Loyola, Richmond, Saint Joseph’s, Saint Louis, Fordham, George Mason, La Salle, Massachusetts

Rhode Island

Away: Duquesne, Loyola, Richmond, Saint Joseph’s, Saint Louis, Fordham, George Mason, La Salle, Massachusetts



Not a single home & home with the expected top teams/programs. Our pod indicates that not much is expected for Rhody. Not totally surprising given an 11th place finish and #142 NET rank last season along with a new coach and major roster turnover.

Two marquee home games with Dayton and VCU, can’t really ask for more than that after the last two seasons and all the turnover.

Would have liked St Louis instead of VCU, but can’t complain.

[RhowdyRam02]

We have to go west to Pittsburgh, Chicago, and St. Louis. The only western outpost we're not going out to is Dayton. That's pretty terrible.

[bigappleram]

The conference tries (smartly) to pair the teams with the highest ceilings together...when our prospects were strong we were routinely paired with Dayton, VCU and Davidson. This pairing is reflective of our bad results for 2 straight seasons. We deserve this pairing.

That said UMass, GMU and Fordham (can't believe I am saying this) don't bring much name value but they will all likely be picked right around us in the middle of the league. They aren't Duquesne and Lasalle.

We also get Dayton, VCU and Davison at home. Could have been worse.

I guess I don't understand why that is so terrible.
I am sure logistically it will be planned so as not to be a burden on the team.

[Rhody15]

We’ve been a suckbag team for two years.

Why the hell should the conference reward us? Just because we’re URI?

Love to know your reasoning why we deserved top notch pairings.

You have far more faith in the A10 than I do I guess

[Section104]

The unbalanced schedule hurts when it comes to developing an NCAA resume, but it helps if we're trying to finish in the top 4.

I love our ability to get a double bye with this schedule.

[Billyboy78]

On the bright side, we should win a lot of games with that schedule. Sweep the 4 teams that we have home and home and take care of business at home against VCU, Dayton and Davidson, then go from there.

I think we deserve one top team out of the four. That the A10 can't figure out that URI/Dayton should be a pairing is beyond me. Hell go back to the 2017-18 season when we were coming off a tournament and still loaded. We had a garbage La Salle program as one of our home and homes that 2017-18 season

[Ramfan22]

Prove them wrong

Wow 78, I don't think it will be quite as easy as you make it out to be.

This is a new and young roster, don't be too disappointed if it doesn't work out that way.

[Big Rhody Guy]

Conference is taking care of the teams that had good years last year and are projected to have good years this year as well. Getting teams that are more likely to be good facing each other twice is also better for TV. All 8 of Dayton's SLU's and VCU's double pairing games will be slated for national tv. It does not make sense to switch out any of of Dayton's pairings for us even with the arrival of Archie.

It literally makes all the sense in the world. Easily one of the ten most compelling story lines in the league is Archie's return to Dayton, and our conference in all its infinite wisdom decided to wait a year and a half at least to have that game, giving the story line plenty of time to cool off

[RF1]

If you are not pleased with URI's A-10 conference game opponents, you will likely also be very disappointed when the league tv schedule is released. Expect less URI games to be on the wider coverage national tv networks with more contests only available via streaming on ESPN+ this season. Consecutive years of poor play and bad records have consequences.
